"I recently had my shingle roof replaced and I?m very happy with the results. The team was professional, punctual, and completed the job efficiently. The quality of the work is excellent, and the new roof looks great. They kept the work area clean and communicated well throughout the process. I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing a roof replacement."

"I am so pleased that David was willing to come to my house and provide not only an estimate, but advice on how to professionally repair each of three different kinds of drywall crack problems.  I offered to pay for his time and advice, but all he asked for was a glowing review - Here it is.

"I cannot say enough wonderful things about D&F Painting, Franklin, and Dolly. In years of dealing with contractors, I have NEVER experienced this level of professionalism, patience, attention to detail, and genuine dedication to customer satisfaction. They painted the ENTIRE interior of my home every wall, ceiling, both sides of doors, inside and outside of every closet, and all the trim throughout the house. They also refinished my entire set of kitchen cabinets. This was an enormous project, and their work was absolutely exceptional. My hardwood floors had just been freshly stained, and I was extremely concerned about protecting them. Franklin and Dolly went above and beyond, meticulously covering every inch of flooring in every room and carefully laying paper and taping to protecting everything. Their attention to detail was unlike anything I have ever seen. They showed up on time, worked incredibly hard, and treated my home with such respect I totally recommend DNF painting"

Deck Staining FAQs, answered by experts

Whether you can paint over your existing paint depends on what’s on there. Most of the time, you’ll want to sand down or scrape off the paint that’s currently coating your surface. Epoxy paint, for example, won’t let new paint stick to the surface. Latex paint is more forgiving and will accept a new coat, but a primer is recommended if you’re switching colors.

The need for a topcoat on a painted deck depends on various factors, primarily the type of paint used and your desired level of protection. Many premium deck paint formulations are self-sealing, eliminating the necessity for an additional topcoat. These paints often have built-in additives that substantially protect against moisture, UV rays, and everyday wear and tear.

Painting a damaged pool deck is not recommended if the substrate is crumbling, cracking, spalling, or otherwise actively deteriorating. Continuing deterioration will result in the paint also delaminating or flaking off the damaged surface. Minor damage such as chips or hairline cracks that are not actively deteriorating can often be repaired enough to paint over. A damaged pool deck with a lot of cracking and deterioration should be replaced for best results.

Applying a sealer or topcoat after staining wood is highly recommended, though not always strictly required. A sealer protects the wood from moisture, UV rays, and weather-related issues, which is especially important for outdoor surfaces like decks and fences. It also enhances the stain's durability, prevents fading over time, and gives the wood a cleaner, more professional-looking finish. For some indoor applications, a sealer may not be necessary, depending on the type of stain used and the level of protection needed. It's always best to check the stain manufacturer's recommendations and consider the wood's intended use and exposure when deciding whether to apply a sealer.

To make sure the paint won’t bubble as you apply it, make sure to paint on a day that’s cooler than 85 degrees Fahrenheit. When the temperature is too high, the paint won’t dry evenly, which can result in bubbles forming on the surface. Another way to prevent paint from bubbling is to clean the walls, apply primer, and let everything dry completely before you begin.
